devoid of features Of interest AID quiet, but we
note a constant demand from jobbing traders who

healthy, prices now being somewhat nearer the
principles of "sapply and demand, yet there is a
considerable speculative feeling, with large vol
umo of business, fluctuations being confined to
very narrow limits; strictly prime grades Of
Wheat for prompt delivery are wanted at full
figures but common lots can only be sold at a
sacrifice. Corn is strong and firm Rye and Oats
are steady, Produce Is dull and lower, with in
